Harmony Row (film)

Harmony Row is a 1933 Australian musical comedy directed by F. W. Thring and starring popular stage comedian George Wallace.

[4] George enlists in the police force and is assigned to Harmony Row, a haunt of criminals such as Slogger Lee.

Wallace’s new revue, a fourth-rate coster turn with splashes of local color to make it look like home, is a wearisome affair.

[15][16][17] The full version of the film features a haunted house sequence where George unravels a mystery in a mansion.

In some versions of the film this sequence was cut and replaced with one where George arrests a high society gentlemen (Campbell Copelin), thinking he's a thief.

“Harmony Row” lacks the production quality of “His RoyalHighness”; it is far less ambitious technically; but it provides considerably more humor.

In 1952 Harmony Row and Diggers in Blighty were hugely successful in country towns, prompting them to be re-released in Melbourne.
